About me
I'm a university student doing my last semester of Bachelor.
Most of my work is centered around reverse engineering old games, I've done ROM Hacking for fan translations of Japanese games to English, and currently I'm working on a sourceless port of Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2, as it's one of my most favourite games!
I'm also currently looking for a job, so if you're a possible employer based in the Czech Republic, or allow remote work, please do hit me up! :)
How to contact me
If you have a question of any sort, please do write it out in full in the first message, thanks. "Don't ask to ask", so to say. :)

Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2 sourceless port
STATUS: Work in Progress
Attempting to completely reimplement the entire game in C++ via reverse engineering the original game's code in Ghidra while adding additional quality of life improvements like support for higher resolutions, scalable UI, and higher framerates. Code is written in a way that it would require the potential player only to copy a couple of files from their legitimate copy of the game.
I also try sometimes to write about the internals of the game, mostly descriptions of used file formats and whatnot, which can be used as a reference when modding the game.
What's done?
- correct rendering of stages, characters, objects;
- animation playback;
- stage collision;
- basic player movement, interaction with the environment, able to partially progress through the scenarios;
- custom audio mixing with authentic PS2 reverb, playback of character and room sounds, playback of original ADX streams (music and character ad-lib voicelines);
- partial inventory implementation;
- ...and many more things that I couldn't get from the top of my head. :)
What needs to be done?
- NPCs, Enemies;
- Enemy AI, NPC AI;
- hit detection for combat;
- player combat states;
- scenario specific task code;
- cutscene playback (both FMVs and in-game);
- the entirety of netcode;
- ...and much, much more.

Megami Ibunroku: Persona (PS1) English translation
STATUS: Work in Progress
Script is being translated by Tom. A lot of work done making sure the game displays English text nicely, and much more has to be done in the future.

Shin Megami Tensei (PS1) English translation
STATUS: Complete
Completely translated Japanese script by Tom. I've worked on the ROM Hacking: added support for a variable width font, rewrote parts of the game's code to correctly work with ASCII text instead of the game's original 2-byte encoding, fixed menus to fit the final English text, etc...
